Doumbek Hand Drum Spirals Darbuka Goat Skin Head Belly Dance

Hand thrown stoneware medium size doumbek with incised turquoise spirals and cobalt blue dots. The glaze is my matte white that picks up all the subtleties of the form. This has a flawless goat skin to compliment the drum. NOTE: This drum has a small repair visible as a tiny gray patch at bottom edge. It is with epoxy putty and I guarantee it, but offer this drum at reduced price!

This middle Eastern belly dance style drum includes a clay strap lug mounted at the balance point, so just add a cloth shoulder strap and these are easy to carry and play. Ceramic drums can break, so I highly recommend you store them on a wall hook, away from sunlight and moisture. The cloth strip is mainly decorative. but also adds to make a non slip surface to rest your hand. This drum is 8.75 inches high by 7.5 inches at the head, a perfect size for traveling with, but still with a large bass and very crisp top end tones.
